COMP6320 — Artificial Intelligence

code: COMP6320
name: Artificial Intelligence
unit value: 6
description: Artificial intelligence is the science that studies and develops methods of making computers more "intelligent". The focus of this course is on core AI techniques for search, knowledge representation and reasoning, planning, and designing intelligent agents. The course also aims to give an overview of the historical, philosophical, and logical foundations of AI.
